Beating the Regulations

Posted Nov 20, 2016 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Dear Marty,

you repeatedly talked about the absurdity and stupidity of government regulations. I hope you like this one:
After the end of the World Economic Conference 2016 last night the hotel bar closed at 2:00 a.m. because there is a law in Florida that says “Bars have to close at 2:00 a.m. The barkeeper told us (international people from New Zealand, South Africa, USA, Switzerland, Germany and I don’t know where else from). The bar closes right now but you can order drinks at your room. So I (german) said: “OK, let’s order drinks to someone’s room and take them down here to the bar.” One guy standing next to me coming from New Zealand said: “Fine, I’ll do it.” After 10 minutes he returned with our drinks and we were rolling on the floor laughing! So to undermine the system you need an anti-authoritarian Kraut to work out the strategy and a courageous Kiwi to execute it.

Thank you for this great conference here in Orlando and bringing together all these amazing people from all over the world!
